11、d close my eyes.Im sure I can hear the weeds growing and the vines creeping in（悄悄爬进）.I swear they are all laughing at me,too.They dont even have the manners to wait until I leave there.There is no denying that gardens are battle zones in the spring.I blame it on those April and May rains.Once the he
12、at moves in,I can control what gets watered and survives,but those early showers even out（平均分配）the battlefield.Garden tools alone make it clear that gardening isnt an easy thing.My old cart seems to have the personality of a tank,and Im pretty sure my spade is second cousin to a dagger.By late June,

18、able of.I gained this belief from my third grade teacher,the mast special honored,trustworthy,and loved person in my life.Mr.Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds didnt mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars.And he was demanding
19、but he wasnt unreasonable or cruel.He simply felt that no matter what your best was,you should achieve it.As luck would have it,I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher.I was not,nor ever will be,gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class.I dont know the answer,I would say,I cant do it!
20、“Perhaps you dont know the answer,”he would say quietly.Do you think we might figure it out together?How do you know what you can do until you try?Mr.Myrus lived around the comer,and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden.I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had re

22、sorry.He taught me to be kind,not only to others,but to myself.He taught me my own value.He taught me about honor,about truth,and about doing my bestand that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect.And of all the things I know,this I believe: We cant all be “the best”,but we can,ea

27、 customer waits to pay.With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning,the man leaves in a minute.Theres no cashier in the store.At a large university,students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym.Those peopl
28、e are using “smart machines” which identify people by their physical characteristics.These new devices use fingers,hands, faces,eyes and voices.Some machines may even use smells.This new technology,called biometrics,gets information from parts of the body.In the past,biometric machines were used mai
29、nly in government agencies or in prisons.But now that the cost of the technology is lower,these machines are starting to be used everywhere,from border services to schools.Some people,however,are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy.They worry that the machines
30、 will get personal information about them.“I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy,but actually,biometric machines help to protect it,”says Jay Tarkett,who works at a company that develops the machines.“They can be used instead of passwords on a computer,for example.They can als
31、o identify criminals at airports.So,really,they help to promote public safety,and all the information stored is kept confidential by the machine itself.”Some people dont like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals,and feel like they are being accused of something.I
32、n addition,they dont work for some people,such as bricklayers,who wear down their fingerprints.Yet,face recognition does work well because the subject doesnt really have to do anything.To cash a check at a bank,for example,the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an auto
33、matic teller.If the face matches the picture kept on fie,the customer gets the money with no problems.The need to carry identification with you from place to place,then,would all but cease.It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym.Before this machine was used,students at the
34、 college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards.The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards.With the hand-scanning machine,however,the problem was solved right away.But the machines are still new,and there can be problems.For example,voice recognition works on the pho
35、ne, but it is not precise,and can be tricked.Another constraint（限制）we notice,with machines that use face recognition in particular,is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight.However,this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a pers
36、ons iris,the colored part of the eye.It can even identify the person from a few feet away,recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM.16.Whats the authors intention by presenting two examples in Paragraph 1?A.To stress how smart machines work. B.To bring in the topic of the passage.C.To s
37、how the popularity of smart machines. D.To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.17.Why dont people like using finger-prints while using the machine?A.They want to keep their mistakes a secret. B.They dont want to damage their fingers.C.They are afraid of losing money in the bank. D.They ar
38、e afraid of being thought of as criminals.18.Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fields?A.They are not as expensive as they were. B.They no longer invade peoples privacy.C.People enjoy face and voice recognition. D.Criminals are often hidden at airports.19.What is the authors atti
39、tude towards the new technology?A.Worried. B.Bitter. C.Optimistic. D.Satisfied.20.What is the passage mainly about?A.An introduction to biometric machines. B.An advertisement for biometric machines.C.A brief description of hand scanning machines.D.An analysis of biometric machines value in economy.第
